Custom Filters

Custom filters can be added to filter data based on fields within your app. You will not find the options to filter based on status or project within the custom filter setup page, instead you will want to use the status or project filters within the main filter page.

The total possible operators are:

Like the operator option, the possibilities for the value option will depend on the operator being used. Operators like is or is not blank will not require any value to be selected or entered. Operators like contains or does not contain will require the user to manually enter in the value they want to use as the filter. While operators like one of or not one of will present the user with a pick list to select from.

Once you have setup the filter, you can press on the done button to back out to the main filter page, here you will see the custom filter that you just created. If you wish to create another custom filter to use with the filter you just created you can press on the + add rule button.
